indeed that is are going to their reporting from the western coast of japan dr robert jacobs from the hiroshima peace institute says that judging by how the situation is unfolding it seems the government has little control over this nuclear crisis. it certainly appears that we're not getting the full story in the sense that every day we are told that the situation is under control and that efforts are succeeding in. saying the risk yet every day we see the situation is getting further and further out of control each day we wait here in japan to a much more grim situation than the day before and it's hard to imagine i think it's hard to give accurate information i think it's hard for the government to get accurate information but i think that there's a growing distrust among people in japan that the information that we're receiving is not informing us to the extent that we would like it to an int that doesn't reduce panic it just makes people all the more uncertain when they believe they can't trust fully the information they're being given this intuition is it is very much difficult to control

detected that authorities say he's actually been blown up from a focus or thought robert jacobs from the hiroshima piece says that if that's the case the twenty kilometer exclusion zone around the fukushima reactor may not be enough. the claims of the japanese government at this point is that the radiation they want to our reactor are not coming from that the reactors at that site but are actually from fukushima number one from the explosion at fukushima number one so this is boring as well because if this is true this would indicate that the radiation from fukushima has reached a quite a distance from the plant itself the claims are that the radiation levels were high briefly and then went down and this would correspond to the timing of the explosion from but as i say seeing as how the evacuation area has been ten fifteen twenty kilometers away if in the next prefecture of radiate measurable radiation was present then obviously radiation is spreading beyond the evacuated area but is on the other side of the bay from sendai it's north of sendai whereas the fukushima site is south of sendai so that

and its effects from dr robert gibbs a research associate professor of nuclear history and culture at hiroshima peace institute or the latest reports are that we're getting is that there has been an explosion at fukushima number one a nuclear power plant what could this mean we still have to get details about what could this mean. well i'm not an expert on nuclear power but having studied the history of these incidents in the past i know that at this reactor there had been attempts to reduce the pressure inside the reactor core and to cool the reactor to avoid. to see an explosion as we saw in that building obviously indicates failure in those efforts. clearly the situation in this reactor is not under control that there is an explosion of that sort that building or so it would . it's hard to say exactly what it reflects but it would certainly indicate the likelihood of a partial meltdown in the potentially already of four meltdown ok well we are still of course getting the details so we can speculate but as much impact that we have right now what do you think caused the explosion because we ha

people from nagasaki and hiroshima are very sensitive to the incident in fukushima we've never experienced such a devastating nuclear accident before and i think everyone is now free this could happen again i wasn't afraid of nuclear accidents before but now i am because i can see it's not under control. this memorial represents the water crave by so many after the explosion the basins tranquility a far cry from the destruction wrought by the tsunami once that has done its damage this place reminds us the ripples from a radioactive disaster extend for generations after bennett's r.t. and a something or japan's authorities are trying to calm the nation's nuclear crisis saying the levels of radioactive materials pose no immediate danger to health but experts say there's no such thing as an harmful radiation. unfortunately there is no safe level of artificial radiation in terms of its risk to humans if exposed to that radiation the international commission for a lot of protection declares as much now that's not prophetical organization it's relatively crude nuclear but there is no c threshold
